STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Board and executive management are committed to engaging with our stockholders. Throughout the year, executive management proactively and periodically meets with current and prospective stockholders to discuss our strategic priorities, operational performance, and financial results. Also, through these discussions or separate outreach efforts, we seek to engage our top stockholders to solicit feedback on corporate governance, our compensation program, and related matters. In 2019, we conducted such outreach to our top stockholders representing a majority of our outstanding shares; these stockholders did not express concerns over our corporate governance practices or compensation program design.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We Pay for Performance. Our philosophy is designed to:

attract, motivate and retain highly-qualified executive officers critical to our long-term success;

align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders;

reward executive officers for achievingpre-defined rigorous financial goals and strategic objectives that may not yield current-period financial results but are expected to position us for enhanced results in future periods;

encourage strategic long-term development and profitable investment in the business;

motivate and reward appropriate risk-taking to grow the business; and

support pay practices with strong corporate governance and independent Board oversight.

We aligned annual incentives to strong financial results. The Company’s underlyingpay-for-performance approach is intended to reward management appropriately for results relative to targeted performance through use of a weighted combination of three performance metrics: revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF.

We assessed and rewarded our most significant strategic accomplishments. 25% of annual incentive awards for our executive officers is tied to performance on pre-determined strategic objectives as well as specific goals tied to employee satisfaction and information security across our three strategic areas of focus: growth and innovation, operational excellence, and high performing organization.

What We Do

FOR
​  

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERSA VOTE "FOR" “FOR”

EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY YOU IN THE PROXY YOU SUBMIT, THE PROXIES SOLICITED BY OUR BOARD WILL BE VOTED "FOR" THE ELECTION OF THESE NOMINEES.


​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOMINEES

GeneralOur Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") require that directors be elected annually, and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board shall consist of such number of directors, as is determined from time to time, exclusively by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board, our Board consists of nine directors.12 directors, each of whom, other than Frank D. Martell, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is “independent” pursuant to the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the categorical independence standards contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Investor Relations section of our website under “Leadership & Governance — Highlights” at www.corelogic.com.

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated the nine12 individuals set forth under "—Nominees"Nominees below for election at the Annual Meeting, to serve until the 20182021 annual meeting of stockholders and until the directors'their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Voting Standard

Voting Standard

Under our Bylaws, in an uncontested election, each director nominee will be elected to the Board to serve until the next annual meeting and as soon thereafter as their successors areuntil his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, if the nominee receives a majority of votes cast (meaning the number of shares voted "for"“for” a nominee must exceed the number of shares voted "against"“against” such nominee) with respect to such director nominee'snominee’s election. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each director nominee for director who was in office prior to the election (each, an "incumbent director"“incumbent director”) is required to submit, and has submitted, to the Board an irrevocable letter of resignation from the Board and all committees thereof, which will become effective if the director does not receive a majority of votes cast and the Board determines to accept the resignation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board about whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action. The Board will act on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee within 90 days from the date the election results are certified and thereafter promptly disclose its decision in a Current Report onForm 8-K. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election of the director nominees.

The majority voting standard does not apply, however, in a contested election, where the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected. In a contested election, directors are instead elected by a plurality of shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors (meaning that the number of director nominees who receive the highest number of shares voted "for"“for” their election are elected). The election of directors at the Annual Meeting will not be contestedcontested. Abstentions and each director nominee must receive a majority ofbrokernon-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and, therefore, will not be counted in orderdetermining the outcome of the election of the director nominees.

NomineesSet forth below is information concerning each person nominated and recommended to be elected as a director by our Board. The information set forth below is as of the date of this proxy statement. All of the nominees currently serve as our directors and, other than J. Michael Shepherd, were previously elected to the present term of office at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Shepherd was initially recommended as a potential director candidate by our President and CEO. His candidacy was then considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and he was interviewed by various members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board.

All of the director nominees listed below have consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve as directors if elected. If any nominee should become unable or unwilling for good cause to serve as a director, the proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee(s) as shall be designated by our Board or our Board may reduce the number of directors on our Board. Our Board currently has no knowledge that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve.

We are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast anon-binding vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers or NEOs, as disclosed pursuant(“NEOs”). We urge stockholders to read the SEC'sCompensation Discussion and Analysis” section below, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation disclosure rulespolicies and set forth in this proxy statement (including inpractices are designed and operate to achieve our pay for performance compensation philosophy, as well as theSummary Compensation Table” and other related compensation tables and narratives accompanying those tables as well as in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section below).narratives.

As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section below, ourOur compensation program is heavily weighted toward performance-based compensation that provides a direct link between rigorous goals for corporate performance and pay outcomes for our executive officers. Our annual incentive plan also ties pay outcomes to the achievement of key strategic objectives that we believe will drive longer-term value to stockholders. We believe that our compensation program provides effective incentives for strong operating results by appropriately aligning pay and performance.

WeIn the advisory vote at our 2019 annual meeting, nearly 96% of the votes cast by our stockholders supported our executive compensation policies and practices. While we have regularly received strong support for our executive pay for performance.    Our philosophy is designed to:


Table of Contents

​  
What We
Do


Review total compensation relative to median of a peer group of industry-aligned companies with similar executive talent needs

Tie annual incentives to achievement of multiple stretch financial and operating goals

Use performance-based vesting for 50% of long-term compensation, tied to achievement of stretch EPS targets and total stockholder return (TSR) relative to our peers

Maintain robust stock ownership guidelines

Maintain a clawback policy for incentive payments

Use an independent compensation consultant retained directly by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, who performs no consulting or other services for the Company's management

Require double-trigger for accelerated vesting upon termination of employment following a change in control

Assess annually potential risks relating to the Company's compensation policies and practices

​  
​  
What We
Don't Do


Incentivize participants to take excessive risks

Award discretionary bonuses to our executive officers

Allow margining, derivative, or speculative transactions, such as hedges, pledges, and margin accounts, by executive officers

Provide excessive perquisites

Provide excise tax gross-ups upon termination with a change in control or for other awards

Allow for repricing of stock options without stockholder approval

Pay "single-trigger" change-of-control cash payments or have "single-trigger" equity acceleration

2016 Compensation Outcomes

Our compensation program rewarded strong financial results.    Our 2016 financial performance exceeded targets and resulted in above-target payouts. Results for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow generated funding of the ICP (our annual cash bonus plan) at 146% of target.

Notwithstanding these strong results, management and the Compensation Committee reduced bonus payouts by 5%.    Despite our strong financial results and above-target payout, management recommended and the Compensation Committee approved a reduction in ICP funding by 5% across the enterprise because acquisition-related assumptions used in setting target performance did not meet timing expectations. This reduced the calculated bonus funding to 139% of target. In addition, the payout for the strategic goals portion of the ICP, relative to the funded amount, was increased for one NEO, reduced for one NEO, and unchanged for three NEOs. Finally, results for adjusted EPS and our three-year total stockholder return

relative to our peer group generated a payout of 124.5% in our long-term performance share plan for 2014-2016.

No across the board increase in base salaries for 4th consecutive year.    Notwithstanding strong operating results, consistent with our practices in recent years, the Compensation Committee did not increase NEO base salaries for 2016, except for Mr. Balas in consideration of his promotion to Chief Financial Officer.

Please see Appendix A for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the related rules of the SEC, the Board of Directors requests your advisory vote to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

This proposal to approve the compensation paid to our NEOs is advisory only and will not be binding upon us or the Board, of Directors, and will not be construed as overruling a decision by us or the Board of Directors or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for us or our Board of Directors.Board. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Our current policy is to provide stockholders with an annual opportunity to approve the compensation of the NEOs. We have included a proposal in this proxy statement for an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs and are recommending that we continue with the current policy of holding such a vote every year. Accordingly, if stockholders approve EVERY ONE YEAR as the preferred frequency option in Proposal 3, we expect theThe next advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs will occur at the 20182021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Voting StandardApproval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our NEOs requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter (meaning that of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, a majority of them must be voted "for"“for” the proposal for it to be approved). Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "against"“against” this proposal, andbroker-non votes will not be counted in determining the outcome of this proposal.

PROPOSAL 3. Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation

EVERY ONE
YEAR



​  
OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "EVERY ONE YEAR" AS THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY YOU IN THE PROXY YOU SUBMIT, THE PROXIES SOLICITED BY OUR BOARD WILL BE VOTED FOR "EVERY ONE YEAR" FOR THIS PROPOSAL.

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 

We are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding, advisory vote for their preference as to how frequently we should seek future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer that we conduct future advisory votes on NEO compensation every one, two, or three years.

Consistent with the views our stockholders expressed in 2011, we have held our advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs every year since then. The Board is recommending that the annual advisory vote be continued so that stockholders may continue to provide timely, direct input on our executive compensation program.

This vote is advisory, which means that the vote will not be binding upon us or the Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee, and will not be construed as overruling a decision by us or the Board of Directors or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for us or our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote in considering the frequency with which the advisory vote on compensation of our NEOs will be held in the future.

The Board recommends that you vote for the advisory vote on executive compensation to be held every one year.

Under our Bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal is required to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, a frequency option for future advisory votes on executive compensation (meaning that of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, a majority of them must be voted in favor of one of the frequency options for it to be approved). However, if no frequency option receives the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting, then the Board of Directors will consider the option receiving the highest number of votes as the preferred option of the stockholders. Abstentions have the effect of votes "AGAINST" each of the frequency options in determining whether any of the frequency options has been approved by a majority of the shares of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, but will not be counted in determining the frequency option receiving the highest number of votes. Broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the outcome of this proposal.

Board Diversity.We do not have a formal policy for the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for director. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes the benefits associated with a diverse Board and, as indicated above, considers diversity as a factor when identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on our Board. The current membersNominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a broad conception of diversity, including professional and educational background, prior experience on other boards of directors (both public and private), political and social perspectives as well as race, gender and national origin. Utilizing these factors, and the factors described below under “Evaluation of Director Nominees”, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations, as it deems appropriate, regarding the composition and size of the Board. The priorities and emphasis of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. O'Brien (Chairman), Chatham, Curling and Folino. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held four meetings during 2016.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other items:


Table of Contents

Director Nominees.The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted procedures by which certain of our stockholders may recommend director nominees to the Board. In particular, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established a policy whereby it will accept and consider, in its discretion, director recommendations from any stockholder holding in excess of 5% of our outstanding common stock. Such recommendations must include the name and credentials of the recommended nominee and should be submitted to our Secretary at our address included in this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate director candidates recommended by stockholders for election to our Board in the same manner and using the same criteria as used for any other director candidate (as described below). If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that a stockholder-recommended candidate is suitable for membership on our Board, it will include the candidate in the pool of candidates to be considered for nomination upon the occurrence of the next vacancy on our Board or in connection with the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Evaluation of Director Nominees.While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has no specific minimum qualifications in evaluating a director candidate, it takes into account all factors it considers appropriate in identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on our Board, including some or all of the following: strength of character, an inquiring and independent mind, practical wisdom, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant industry experience, relevant technical skills, reputation in the community, diversity and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the full Board as to whether or not incumbent directors should stand forre-election. However, if we are legally required by contract or otherwise to provide third parties with the ability to nominate directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may adjust its evaluation process for the designated candidates to reflect our contractual obligations with respect to their nomination. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts all necessary and appropriate inquiries into the background and qualifications of possible candidates and may engage a search firm to assist in identifying potential candidates for nomination.

We do not have a formal policy for the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for director. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes the benefits associated with a diverse board and, as indicated above, considers diversity as a factor when identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on our Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a broad conception of diversity, including professional and educational background, prior experience on other boards of directors (both public and private), political and social perspectives as well as race, gender and national origin. Utilizing these factors, and the factors described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations, as it deems appropriate, regarding the composition and size of the Board. The priorities and emphasis of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and of the Board may change from time to time to take into account changes in business and other trends and the portfolio of skills and experience of current and prospective Board members.

Acquisition and Strategic Planning and Acquisition Committee

Independence of Directors

Pursuant to the corporate governancelisting rules of the NYSE, for listed companies, a majority of the Board must be independent. A director will not qualify as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). To assist in its determination of director independence, the Board has adopted categorical director independence standards, which are contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available to stockholders on the Investors section of our web sitewebsite under Leadership & Governance—HighlightsGovernance-Highlights atwww.corelogic.com.

In accordance with theapplicable NYSE listing rules and our categorical director independence standards, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Chatham, Curling, Dorman, Folino, O'BrienO’Brien, Raina, Shepherd and Walker, and Mses. Munce, Studenmund and Widener is "independent" as that term is defined in the corporate governance rules of the NYSE for listed companies.“independent”. Mr. Martell is not considered an inside directorindependent because he is employed by usserves as a senior executive.our President and Chief Executive Officer.

During 2016, each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was determined by the Board to be independent, as defined in the corporate governance rules of the NYSE for listed companies and in accordance with the categorical standards of independence included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines as discussed below. The Board further determined that each member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee met the additional independence standards applicable to those committees.Leadership Structure

Board Leadership Structure; Meetings of Independent Directors

The offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman are separate. Mr. Folino has served as Chairman of our Board since July 2014. Our Board believes that the separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer continues to be appropriate as it allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on his management responsibilities and the Chairman to oversee and manage the Board and its functions. Having an independent Chairman promotes the independence of our Board and provides appropriate oversight of

management and ensures free and open discussion and communication among thenon-management members of our Board. In 2016, the non-management directors met five times in executive session without management present. The Chairman also chairs and coordinates the agenda for these executive sessions of thenon-management directors.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board shall annually elect a lead director by a majority vote of the independent directors unless the Chairperson of the Board is an independent director, in which case the Chairperson of the Board will perform the functions of a lead director and no lead director shall be elected. Mr. Folino, an independent director, is the Chairman and, as a result, we do not currently have a lead director.


Table of ContentsDirector Education

Director Education

Directors are strongly encouraged to attend educational seminars regarding the Company’s business, corporate governance and other issues pertaining to their directorship. We also provide the Board with educational training from time to timetime-to-time on subjects applicable to the Board and the Company, including with regard to industry and regulatory developments, accounting, financial reporting, and corporate governance, using both internal and external resources.

Succession Planning

Succession Planning

Among the Compensation Committee'sCommittee’s responsibilities described in its charter is to oversee development and succession planning for executive officers, and the Compensation Committee also oversees this for other key members of senior management. In March 2015, the Board created a talent development subcommittee of the Compensation Committee to aid the Compensation Committee in fulfilling these responsibilities. The Board plans for succession of the CEO and annuallyperiodically reviews senior management selection and succession planning that is undertaken by the Compensation Committee. As part of this process, thenon-management directors annually review the Compensation Committee'sCommittee’s recommended candidates for senior management positions to see that qualified candidates are available for all positions and that development plans are being utilized to strengthen the skills and qualifications of the candidates. The criteria used when assessing the qualifications of potential CEO successors include, among others, strategic vision and leadership, operational excellence, financial management, executive officer leadership development, ability to motivate employees, and an ability to develop an effective working relationship with the Board. In 2017, the Board implemented its succession plan with Mr. Nallathambi's passing and appointed Frank D. Martell as our President and CEO.

Risk Oversight

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

We aligned annual incentives to strong financial results. Our underlyingpay-for-performance approach is intended to reward management appropriately for results relative to targeted performance through use of a

weighted combination of three performance metrics: revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and FCF. Annual incentive performance goals were set at the launchbeginning of 2019 based on best available market forecasts at the time, which called for a modest decline relative to actual 2018 for US mortgage market unit volumes. In addition, our financial targets were set based on our assessment of the Valuation Solutions Group (VSG).

impact of key strategic initiatives as well as known or anticipated macro-economic environment and operating conditions in the global markets we serve. We achieveddelivered a company-wide organic growth rate of 5%.

We simplifiedstrong performance in 2019 – both operationally and financially – exceeding our capital structure, which provided both additional financial flexibilityrevenue target by 10%, our adjusted EBITDA target by 11%, and a significant reduction in borrowing costs.

Executive Summary of 2016 Compensation

Our compensation program rewarded strong financial results.    Our 2016 financial performance exceeded targets and resulted in above-target payouts. Resultsour FCF target by 4%. Combined results for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flowFCF generated annual incentive funding at 141% of target. The overachievement against our targets was driven principally by a combination of effective and aggressive management, improved market conditions for US mortgage as well as changes in the timing related to our AMC transformation program and the wind down of certainnon-core platforms. After considering the impact of changes in the timing and other assumptions related to our AMC transformation program as well as the wind down ofnon-core platforms on actual financial results against targeted performance levels, the Committee exercised its discretion to reduce final funding of the ICP (ourfinancial results to 128.7% of target.

We assessed and rewarded our most significant strategic accomplishments. For our NEOs, 25% of annual cash bonus plan) at 146%incentive awards is tied to performance on predetermined strategic objectives as well as specific goals tied to employee satisfaction and information security.Based on overall strong strategic accomplishments in a challenging revenue environment as well as achievement of target.

Notwithstanding these strong results, managementemployee satisfaction and information security related targets, and individual contributions to those accomplishments, the Committee reduced bonus payouts by 5%.    Despite our strong financial results and above-target payout, management recommended and the Committee approved a reduction in ICP funding by 5% across the enterprise because acquisition-related assumptions used in setting target performance did not meet timing expectations. This reduced the calculated bonus to 139% of target. In addition, the payout for the strategic goals portion of the ICP, relative to the funded amount, was increased for one NEO, reduced for one NEO, and unchanged for three NEOs. Finally, results for adjusted EPS and our three-year total stockholder return (TSR) relative to our peer group generated a payout of 124.5% in our long-term performance share plan for 2014-2016.

No across the board increase in base salaries for 4thconsecutive year.    Notwithstanding strong operating results, consistent with our practices in recent years, the Committee did not increase NEO base salaries for 2016, except for Mr. Balas in consideration of his promotion to Chief Financial Officer.

We engageActive Engagement with Our Stockholders

The Board and executive management are committed to engaging with our major stockholders. Throughout the year, executive management proactively and periodically meets with current and prospective stockholders to discuss our strategic priorities, operational performance, and financial results. Also, through these discussions or separate outreach efforts, we seek to engage our top stockholders to solicit feedback on corporate governance, our compensation program, and related matters. In early 2017, as part of our stockholder engagement strategy,2019, we conducted such outreach to 20 of our top stockholders representing approximately 60% ownership. Our stockholder outreach includes ongoing discussions with manya majority of our investors and we often solicit their feedback on a variety of topics, including executive compensation. Theoutstanding shares; these stockholders we reached out to did not express concerns over our corporate governance practices or compensation program design.

PAY PHILOSOPHY

We pay for performance.Our compensation program is heavily weighted toward performance-based annual and long-term compensation that provides a direct link between rigorous goals for corporate performance and pay outcomes for our executive officers. Our annual incentive planICP also ties pay outcomes to the achievement of key strategic objectives that we believe will drive longer-term value to stockholders. We believe that our compensation program provides effective incentives for strong operating results by appropriately aligning pay and performance. Our philosophy is designed to:

Performance-Based

 Compensation MixPhilosophy

•   Attract, motivate and retain highly-qualified executive officers critical to our long-term success

•   Align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders

•   Reward executive officers for achievingpre-defined rigorous financial goals and strategic objectives that may not yield current-period financial results but are expected to position us for enhanced results in future periods

•   Encourage strategic long-term development and profitable investment in
the business

•   Motivate and reward appropriate risk-taking to grow the business

•   Support pay practices with strong corporate governance and independent board oversight

 Compensation Program Primary Elements

•   Base salary

•   Annual cash incentive compensation plan awards

•   Long-term equity incentives

•   Other compensation (welfare, retirement, termination and other benefits)

We have four elements of total compensation:

We focus on long-term stockholder value. As illustrated above, nearly 70% of the total compensation opportunity for our CEO is based on adjusted EPS results relativeachievement of stockholder-aligned performance and the value of our shares. For other NEOs, half of their total target compensation opportunities are tied to target and TSR relative to the companies in our peer group (see description of the peer group later in this section). The remaining 50% of target value was granted in the form of time-vested restricted stock units ("RSUs") that require us to achieve a threshold adjusted net income level in order to be eligible to vest.these stockholder results.

Use of Rigorous Goals in Our Incentive Plans.We set challenging goals for both our annual incentive and long-term equity plans. The chart below demonstrates the variance in payouts since 2014, outcomes that reflect our payincrease base salaries primarily for performance approach to compensation. Because acquisition-related assumptions used in setting target performance did not meet timing expectations, management recommended and the Committee approved a 5% decrease in the 2016 ICP pool on an enterprise basis. This reduced the overall calculated bonus from 146% to 139% of target.

Long-term Incentives.    Payouts under our PBRSU awards also illustrate our use of rigorous performance targets and our adherence to pay for performance. Because we had a sub-optimal result on adjusted EPS in 2014, the 2013 PBRSU award (with a 2013-2015 performance period) paid out at less than half of target value. In contrast, the 2014 PBRSU award (with a 2014-2016 performance period) paid out at 124.5% of target based on particularly strong results in 2015 and 2016.

No Base Salary Increases Each Year.Our practice is to benchmark compensation annually but to increase an NEO'sNEO’s base salary only when warranted by sustained performance, an increase in the scope of responsibilities or significant gaps to competitive pay levels. Only Mr.Of our currently employed NEOs, only Messrs. Martell and Balas received a base salary increase in 2016 in consideration of his appointment to Chief Financial Officer. In light of anticipated mortgage market headwinds in 2017, the Committee decided that all NEOs will forego base salary increases in 2019 to recognize performance and move their respective salaries to more competitive levels.

We set rigorous goals in our incentive plans. We set challenging goals for 2017, except for Mr. Martell whose salary was increasedboth our annual incentive and long-term equity plan, with recognition of the broader macro-economic environment factored into performance goals. We outperformed US mortgage market trends and delivered single-digit top line growth in connection with his promotion to Presidentour core operations, resulting in year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA and Chief Executive Officer in March 2017.FCF despite very challenging market conditions as we entered the year. For 2019, we also considered the impact of the timing of significant planned investments on our results.

Use of Strategic Goals in Our ICP.    The achievement ofWe use strategic goals representsin our ICP.Results on strategic goals represent 25% of the annual ICP opportunity for our executive officers. We believe this approach rewards the accomplishment of key objectives that will drive future performance. The strategic goals portion is funded by the results on financial goals. The Committee separately determines the portion of the funded amount that should be paid as a result of achievement of the individualassigned objectives. The Committee carefully evaluates management'smanagement’s accomplishments relative to the goals, as further described below.

Our equity grants are tied to performance.In 2019, 50% of the target value of our long-term incentive awards for our CEO pay is aligned to stock price performance.    The alignment of CEO total direct compensation (base salary, ICP and LTI) and our TSR over the past three years, depictedother NEOs was granted in the table below, demonstrates alignmentform of CEO actual pay withPBRSUs that vest based on achievement of adjusted EPS results for stockholders. These pay amounts do not include changerelative to target and TSR relative to the companies in pension value or "All Other Compensation"our Peer Group (as described and defined later in this section). We set rigorous goals in our PBRSU awards, where strong operating and shareholder performance, such as a 31% shareholder return in 2019, has allowed us to achieve above-target payouts in the 2016 Summary Compensation Table below.

Determining Pay

Determining Pay

Generally, in determining base salary, target annual ICP and guidelines for long-term equity awards, the Committee considers a number ofseveral factors including, but not limited to, the executive officer's:officer’s:

experience and capabilities, including institituional knowledge;

institutional knowledge

contributions or responsibilities beyond the typical scope of the role;

role

individual performance;

comparisons withperformance

positioning relative to our other executive officers;

officers

difficulty in recruiting a replacement;replacement, and

competitive compensation opportunities provided by our peers and other competitors for similar execuitive talent.

executive talent

Consideration of Prior Amounts Realized

Our philosophy is to incentivize and reward executive officers for future performance. While the Committee regularly reviews executive officer equity grants and vesting, it does not consider prior stock compensation gains (option gains or restricted stock awarded in prior years) in setting future compensation levels.

Peer Group and Benchmarking

Peer Group and Benchmarking

In order toTo monitor competitive compensation practices, the Committee relies primarily upon data compiled from public filings of selected companies (our peer group)“Peer Group”) that it considers to be competitors or appropriate comparators for executive talent. The Committee reviews and approves the Peer Group annually. Criteria for peer groupPeer Group selection include firms that operate in data, information and analytics and related businesses.as well as those that have a high degree of sensitivity to mortgage origination volumes. Our 2016 peer group2019 Peer Group is presented in the table below.


Historically, our peer group has been challenging to construct as there are few firms that operate with highly comparable business mixes. Peers have generally been information and service providers, with some financial technology firms also included. For 2019, the Company refreshed its peer group to provide greater alignment with businesses that are sensitive to mortgage origination volumes and interest rates.

Threshold Performance Requirement.For 2016, no award was payable unless our 2016 adjusted net income exceeded the performance threshold of $55 million. The performance threshold was increased to $57.5 million for 2017.

Calculation of Awards.    For 2016,2019, 75% of the ICP opportunity was based on our financial performance goals and 25% on established strategic objectives for each executive officer in the three major planks of our business strategy: (1) grow and scale, (2) operational excellence, and (3) high performing organization. The Committee determined that these were the critical strategic initiatives for aligning annual operating performance with our long-term strategy.

The funding formula is set out in the target award is funded. At 120% of targeted performance (maximum), the maximum of 200% of the target award is funded.table below. For performance levels greater thanbetween threshold but less thanand target or between target and maximum, the bonus awardfunding is determined by linear interpolation. The funding formula parameters are set out in the following table:

​  

The sum of the weighted results of the three financial metrics funds the ICP awards. NEOs receive 75% of the funded amount based on financial results. The remaining 25% of the funded amount is earned based on evaluation of performance on strategic goals. Notwithstanding the actual ICP funding results, the Committee retains the discretion to decrease the actual payment for an ICP participant.

The sum of the weighted results of the three financial metrics funds the ICP awards. For 2019, NEOs received 75% of their ICP payout based on financial results. Awards for the remaining 25% of the funded amount were based on an evaluation of performance on strategic goals. For outstanding performance on strategic objectives, the ICP structure permits the strategic goal payment percentage of up to 200% of target.

Financial results were measured at the corporate level for NEOs except for Mr. Sando, whose financial results were weighted 33.3% on the corporate metrics previously outlined and 66.7% on revenue and adjusted EBITDA results for the business segment he manages. Funding for his strategic objectives component was determined by corporate results as for the other NEOs.

Determining Awards for Strategic Goal Achievement.    2016 executive officerThe Committee determined that three major areas of our business strategy should continue to be used for ICP strategic objectives are measurable accomplishments which accelerategoals: (1) growth and innovation, (2) operational excellence, and (3) high performing organization. The Committee believed that these were the critical strategic focal areas for accelerating achievement of our long-term strategy andlong-strategy performance which are not otherwise measurable through annual financial performance metrics. Success indicators included top- and bottom-line growth, operational milestones and business and program innovation.Each executive officer was assigned specific objectives within each category.


Table of Contents

The threshold level of the ICP adjusted net income goal must be achieved as a condition for funding awards for achievement of strategic objectives. As described above, the award opportunity for strategic goals flexes up or down based on overall financial results and funding, such that the portion of each executive officer's bonus tied to strategic objectives is aligned with our financial performance.

Awards for strategic goal achievement can range from a minimum of no payment to a maximum of 200% of the funded opportunity. The CEO providesprovided the Committee with his assessment of individual results on strategic goals for the other executive officers and the Committee assessesassessed the achievement level of the CEO. Based on these assessments, the Committee determinesdetermined strategic goal achievement awards for each of the NEOs.

2019 Financial Results and Funding. Due to a delay in the timing of the AMC reset and the wind down ofnon-core platforms, management recommended, and the Committee exercised its discretion to approve, an increase in the 2019 revenue target from $1,605 billion to $1,715 billion, which is reflected in the table below. The following chart sets forthincreased revenue target reduced the steps in setting goals, measuring results and determining awards under the 2016 ICP:

The Committee established performance goalswere set at the beginning of the year, based on our 2016 operating plan and targeted performance. Over the course ofCommittee took into consideration strategic actions undertaken by the executives that were identified by management during the year in response to the challenging economic environment. Mr. Henry was not eligible for an ICP award for the 2019 performance year given that he joined the Company in November 2019, but as the business evolved, we increased our guidance as we expected better-than-targeted performance based on an improved market environment. The 2016 targets included significant increases from 2015 actual results, other thannoted above will receive a bonus payment of $385,000 for FCF, which was in line with 2015 actual results, but a significant increase from 2015 target. 2015 actual FCF results were $250 million, which exceeded the 2015 target of $178 million. For 2016, FCF was established in line with our long-term targeted rate of converting 50% of adjusted EBITDA into FCF. We outperformed targets across each of our financial measures, delivering strong growth in our core operations and continued success in cost-efficiency programs.

2016 Financial Results and Funding.    As set out in the table below, 2016 financial performance resulted in 146.3% of target funding.

Strategic Goal Results and Awards.    For Messrs. Nallathambi, Balas and Martell, the Committee determined that each of these executive officers achieved his strategic objectives at a level that either equaled or exceeded the level of financial results achieved, and set each executive officer's bonus funding for achievement of the strategic objectives at 139%, the level that was funded based on financial results. The Committee elected to adjust Mr. Theologides' payout on strategic objectives downward by 19% and to increase the payout on strategic objectives by 11% for Mr. Sando.

Long-Term Incentives (LTI)

Our long-term incentive compensationLTI program is designed to motivate and reward profitable growth and stockholder value creation through awards of performance-based and time-vested equity. The Committee believes that using performance-based and time-vesting equity vehicles reinforces both performance and retention of key executives while aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and encouraging an appropriate level of risk-taking.

Long-term incentives represent the largest component of executive officer compensation. In 2016,2019, we granted 50% of total LTI value in PBRSUs and 50% in RSUs.

In determining the amount of the equity compensation awarded to each executive officer, the Committee primarily considered company and individual performance. However, theThe Committee may also considermodify the target awards in consideration of any factor it considers relevant including competencies, skills, prior experiences, scope of responsibility and accountability within the organization, and the long-term incentiveLTI awards made by peer groupPeer Group companies to similarly-situated executive officers.

PBRSUs Granted in 2016.2019.The 20162019 PBRSUs are earned based on annual adjusted EPS achieved relative to annual targets for each of the three years of the performance period. Please see Appendix A for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.period 2019 through 2021.

Shares earned are calculated as follows:

    A portion of the PBRSUs may be earned each year. For the PBRSUs granted in 2016, 30% of the PBRSUs may be earned based on 2016 performance, 50% based on 2017 performance, and 20% based on 2018 performance. The number of PBRSUs earned is based on a schedule that provides for 50% of PBRSUs to be earned for annual adjusted EPS results at 80% of target (threshold) and 200% of PBRSUs to be earned for results at 120% of target (maximum). PBRSUs earned each year are accrued until the end of the three-year performance period.

    Three-year cumulative adjusted EPS results are also compared to three-year cumulative targets with PBRSUs earned subject to the same schedule as for calculation of annual PBRSUs earned.

2019 Performance for 2019 PBRSU Grant.We achieved strong financial and operating results in 2016,the first year of the 2019 PBRSU performance period despite the macro-economic headwinds, as evidenced by adjusted EPS well above defined targetoutcomes at above-target performance levels. However, our TSR was not in the top quartile of the Peer Group. As a result, the PBRSUs earned for 2016 performance were capped at 150% of target, as illustrated below.

Timing of Equity Grants.Awards.After Committee approval, we generally issue annual equity awards to executive officers on the second day on which the NYSE is open for trading following the filing of our Annual Report onForm 10-K, using the last sale price reported for a share of our common stock on the NYSE on that date. Grants to new hires or other grants outside the annual grant cycle follow the same methodology, except that awards are generally issued on the 20th day (or the next succeeding business day if the market is closed on the 20th day) of the third month of the calendar quarter that follows the date on which the Committee approved the awards.

SpecialOne-Time A30 Award. In 2018, the Compensation Committee approved a specialone-time award (the “A30 Award”) to senior leaders to provide a focused incentive for achievement of an aggressive adjusted EBITDA margin expansion between 2018 and 2020. The award is also intended to enhance executive retention and promote the achievement of major strategic initiatives (e.g., workflow automation and adoption of related

technologies) that improve EBITDA margins. In 2019, Mr. Henry received an A30 PBRSU of $475,000. No other NEO received an A30 award or any time of incremental awards beyond their regular 2019 grants (see FY2018 proxy for additional information on grant performance ranges and payout).

Employment Inducement Award

Mr. Henry joined CoreLogic as its Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary in November 2019. In order to provide an inducement for Mr. Henry to join CoreLogic, the Committee approved a total payment of $500,000 in cash which will be paid in two installments in March and December of 2020. As such, the value of such award will be disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table next year as part of the 2021 proxy.

Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans

Executive officers are entitled to the same benefits generally available to all full-time employees (subject to fulfilling any minimum service requirement) including the 401(k) plan, health care,healthcare, life insurance and other welfare benefit programs. In designing these benefits, we seek to provide an overall level of benefits that is competitive with those offered by similar companies in the markets in which we operate. We believe that these employee benefits provide a valuable recruiting and retention mechanism for our executive officers and enable us to compete more successfully for qualified executive talent.

Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and the Pension Restoration Plan.    Two of our executive officers — Messrs. Nallathambi andMr. Sando became participantsa participant in our Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (the "Executive“Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan"Plan”) prior to its closure to new participants in 2010. On November 18, 2010, we amended the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan to freeze benefits effective as of December 31, 2010. As a result, compensation earned after 2010 is not taken into accountconsidered in determining covered compensation and final average compensation; service after 2010 is not recognized, except for vesting purposes. Mr. Sando is also a participant in the Pension Restoration Plan, which is limited to individuals who became participants before 1995. Explanation of these plans can be found in the Pension Benefits table below.

Deferred Compensation Plan.The Deferred Compensation Plan is anon-qualified retirement plan that allows eligible participants to defer up to 80% of their salary and annual incentive bonus. Participation is limited to executive officers and certain other key employees. In 2010, we amended the Deferred Compensation Plan to provide additional Company contributions in the form of 401(k) restoration contributions and discretionary retirement savings contributions to a limited number of executive officers who were not eligible to participate in the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan. Mr. Theologides received discretionary contributions in the amount of $85,000 in 2016.restoration.

Other Benefits.We also maintain an executive life insurance program for executive officers and other key employees. This program provides the participant with up to two times their annualized base salary (up to a maximum of $1 million) in group universal life insurance.

Further details regarding perquisites are found in the 20162019 Summary Compensation Table and accompanying footnotes.

Role of the Committee and the Chief Executive Officer

The Committee is composed solely of independent members of our Board. The Committee reviews and approves executive officer base salaries, annual incentive bonus programs, long-term incentive compensation and other incentive and executive benefit plans. The Committee, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, analyzes the reasonableness of executive officer compensation, in part by reviewing compensation data from comparable companies and from relevant other industry sources.

Decisions regarding compensation of the Chief Executive OfficerCEO are made solely by the Committee based on its deliberations with input from its independent compensation consultant. Decisions regarding other executive officers are made by the Committee after considering recommendations from the Chief Executive OfficerCEO as appropriate, as well as input from the Committee'sCommittee’s independent compensation consultant. Our Chief Executive Officer,CEO and, as appropriate, General Counsel, Chief OperatingLegal Officer, Chief Financial Officer and SVP,Chief Human Resources Officer, may attend the portion of the Committee'sCommittee’s meetings where individual executive officer performance is discussed.

effective retention tool. Each agreement is individually negotiated and terms may vary. For additional information regarding the terms of the employment agreements, including severance arrangements that we have entered into with our executive officers see "Employment Agreements"“Employment Agreements” below.

Change in Control Agreements

Change in Control Agreements

All equityEquity awards are grantedcurrently issued under the 2018 Plan, which was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting held in May 2018. Prior to the approval of the 2018 Plan, we issued share-based awards under the 2011 Performance Incentive Plan, (the "2011 Plan"), as amended. The 2011 Plan doesand 2018 Plan do not include an automatic "single trigger"“single trigger” change in control vesting provision. Instead, the "double trigger" provides forboth plans include a change in control provision where automatic accelerated vesting of an award in connection with a change in control will only occur if an acquirer or successor to us fails to assume or continue the awards or the awards otherwise do not survive the transaction. Additionally, award agreements include "double-trigger"“double-trigger” severance protections and provide for accelerated vesting of awards that remain outstanding following a change in control transaction in the event of a termination without cause following a change in control.

The Deferred Compensation Plan generally provides for accelerated vesting of awards or benefits, as the case may be, in the event of a change in control of the Company. In addition, the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan provides that when a participant incurs an involuntary separation from service without good cause subsequent to a change in control, payment of benefits will commence in the same manner and in the same amount as if the participant had attained his or her normal retirement age on the date of termination.

In addition to the plan and award agreement provisions described above, we have entered into a change in control agreement (a "Change“Change in Control Agreement"Agreement”) with each of our executive officers.NEOs. Under the Change in Control Agreement, a "change“change in control"control” means the consummation of any one of the following:

    a merger or consolidation of the Company in which our stockholders end up owning less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity;

    entity

In addition, ifIf the termination of theour executive officer'sofficer’s employment occurs without cause or if the executive officer terminates his employment for good reason within the twenty-four monthtwenty-four-month period following a change in control, we will pay the following benefits in one lump sum in the month following the month in which the date of the termination occurs:

between two and three times the executive officer'sofficer’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination.termination

Furthermore, under the Change in Control Agreement, for a period ranging from twenty-four tothirty-six months and subject to the covered executive officer'sofficer’s continued payment of the same percentage of the applicable

premiums as the executive officer was paying immediately prior to the date of termination or, if more favorable to the executive officer, at the time at which the change in control occurred, we will provide medical and dental coverage pursuant to COBRA for the executive officer (and if applicable, the executive officer'sofficer’s dependents). To the extent that the executive officer cannot participate in the plans previously available, we will provide such benefits on the sameafter-tax basis as if they had been available. These obligations are reduced by any welfare benefits made available to the executive officer from subsequent employers.

The Change in Control Agreement provides that if any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax), applies to the payments, benefits or other amounts payable under the agreement or otherwise, including without limitation, any acceleration of the vesting of outstanding stock options, restricted stock or performance shares (collectively, the "Total Payments"“Total Payments”), then the Total Payments will be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments (after reduction) will be $1.00 less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the excise tax; provided that such reduction to the Total Payments will be made only if theafter-tax benefit to the executive officer is greater after giving effect to such reduction than if no such reduction had been made. This type of provision is often referred to as a "modified “modifiedcut-back," and is included because the Change in Control Agreement does not provide for any type of "gross up"“gross up” or similar benefit.

The Change in Control Agreement had an initial term through December 31, 2011 and is automatically extended for additionalone-year periods unless either party notifies the other not later than the preceding January 1 that it does not wish to extend the term for an additional year. All agreements with current executive officers have since been extended through December 31, 2016.2020. For a description of the calculations and further explanation of the payments due to the executive officers upon termination of employment and/or a change in control, see Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control tables below.

Impact of Tax and Accounting

Impact of Tax and Accounting

As a general matter, the Committee takes into accountconsiders the various tax and accounting implications of the compensation vehicles we employ. When determining amounts of long-term incentive grants to executive officers and employees, the Committee examines the accounting cost associated with the grants. Under accounting guidance, grants of stock options, RSUs and PBRSUs result in an accounting charge for the Company.Company over their vesting period. The accounting charge is equal to the fair value of the instruments being issued. For RSUs, the cost is generally equal to the fair value of the stock on the date of grant times the number of shares granted. This expense is amortized over the requisite service period. With respect to stock options, we calculate the fair value of the option and take that value into account as an expense over the vesting period, after adjusting for possible forfeitures. For PBRSUs, we calculate the fair value of the award upon grant and adjust the

value to be expensed on a quarterly basis over the performance period based on expected award payouts, after adjusting for possible forfeitures.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally prohibits any publicly held corporationa publicly-held company from taking a federal income tax deduction for compensation paid in excess of $1 million in any taxable year to each of the chief executive officer and certain of the other most highly compensated executive officers. Exceptions are made for qualified performance-based compensation, among other things. RSUs, PBRSUs and performance units granted to executive officers have been structured in a manner intended to qualify under this exception for performance-based compensation. As such, RSUs and ICP awards are earned contingent upon our achievement of adjusted net income for 2016 of $55 million or more, which performance target was achieved. PBRSUs are earned contingent upon our achievement of the adjusted EPS levels and relative TSR results described above. Other compensation may be subject to the $1 million deduction limit. We generally intend to seek to qualify most of the variablededucting compensation paid to oura current or former NEO that exceeds $1.0 million during the tax year. Certain awards granted before November 2, 2017 that were based upon attainingpre-established performance measures that were set by the Committee under a plan approved by the Company’s stockholders, as well as amounts payable to former executive officers pursuant to a written binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017, may qualify for an exception to the "performance-based compensation" exemption from$1.0 million deductibility limit.

As one of the deduction limit. As such,factors in approving the amount and formits consideration of compensation for our executive officers,matters, the Committee considers all elementsnoted this deductibility limitation. However, the Committee has the flexibility to take any compensation-related actions that it determines are in the best interests of the cost.Company and our stockholders, including awarding compensation that may not be deductible for tax purposes. There can be no assurance that any compensation will in fact be deductible.

For 2016, reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards, consisting of RSUs and PBRSUs, computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. We valued the RSUs as of the grant date by multiplying the closing price of our common stock on that date by the number of RSUs awarded. We valued the PBRSUs as of the grant date by multiplying the closing price of our common stock on that date by the target number of PBRSUs that will vest upon achievement of the target performance. The RSUs were granted and vest contingent upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria through December 31, 2016, which criteria were satisfied, and thereafter vest based on continued employment through December 31, 2018. The PBRSUs were granted and vest contingent upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria and continued employment through December 31, 2018. If the highest performance target is met or exceeded, the value of the awards at grant date would be as follows: Mr. Nallathambi — $6,419,910; Mr. Martell — $3,412,415; Mr, Balas — $956,902; Mr. Sando — $1,649,972; and Mr. Theologides — $1,274,926.

(1)
Amounts reflect each NEO's maximum annual incentive bonus opportunity for 2016, while the actual incentive bonus earned by each NEO is reported in the 2016 Summary Compensation Table above. NEOs can earn less than maximum, but not amounts greater than maximum. At threshold, a NEO would receive 17% of the maximum award amount and at target the NEO would receive 50% of the maximum award amount. Please see Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Annual Incentive Bonus above for a discussion of the material terms of our 2016 incentive bonus program.

(2)
Equity Awards in 2016 consisted of RSUs and PBRSUs granted as part of the 2016 long-term incentive compensation program. The RSUs are tied to achievement of at least $55 million in 2016 adjusted net income. For the RSUs, if as was the case, the adjusted net income performance target is met, the shares vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In the case of the PBRSUs, 100% of each award is tied to achievement of certain adjusted earnings-per-share targets over a three-year performance period consisting of the 2016-2018 fiscal years, subject to modification based on our relative total stockholder return achieved during the performance period. The PBRSUs that were earned in 2016 based on 2016 adjusted EPS performance and relative total stockholder return will vest and be payable to the NEOs subject to their continued employment through December 31, 2018. Please see Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentives above for a discussion of the material terms of our 2016 awards of RSUs and PBRSUs.

(3)
These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each award determined pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For the assumptions and methodologies used to value these awards, see footnote (4) to the 2016 Summary Compensation Table above.

At threshold performance, a NEO would receive 34% of the target award amount and at maximum performance, a NEO would receive 200% of the target award amount. The actual incentive award earned by each NEO is reported in the 2019 Summary Compensation Table.

(2)

Equity awards in 2019 consisted of RSUs and PBRSUs granted as part of the 2019 long-term incentive compensation program and a separate A30 Award of PBRSUs that was granted to Mr. Henry. The RSUs are tied to achievement of at least $62.5 million in 2019 adjusted net income. For the RSUs, if as was the case, the adjusted net income performance target is met, the shares vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In the case of the PBRSUs (other than the A30 Award), 100% of each award is tied to achievement of certain adjustedEmployment Agreementsearnings-per-share targets over a three-year performance period consisting of the 2019-2021 fiscal years, subject to modification based on our relative total stockholder return achieved during the performance period. The PBRSUs that were earned in 2019 based on 2019 adjusted EPS performance and relative total stockholder return will vest and be payable to the NEOs subject to their continued employment through December 31, 2021.

(3)

These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each award determined pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. For the assumptions and methodologies used to value these awards, see footnote (5) to the 2019 Summary Compensation Table above.

(4)

PBRSUs were granted as a specialone-time A30 Award to Mr. Henry on December 20, 2019 and remain subject to the achievement of certain performance measures. The PBRSUs vest, if at all, based on achievement ofpre-determined 2020 adjusted EBITDA margin targets.

Mr. Pinkston’s awards were forfeited upon his resignation from the Company in June 2019.

Pension Benefits for 2016
2019

The following table shows the actuarial present value of the accumulated retirement benefits payable upon normal retirement age to each of the NEOs who participate in a pension plan, computed as of December 31, 2016.2019. The amounts disclosed are based upon benefits provided to the NEOs under our Pension Restoration Plan ("Pension Restoration Plan") and our Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan. Benefit accruals were frozen under the Pension Restoration Plan as of April 30, 2008 and the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan was frozen effective December 31, 2010. Prior to the Separation, weWe previously maintained a pension plan, which was assumed by First American Financial Corporation ("FAFC"(“FAFC”) in connection with the Separation.spinning off our financial services businesses now known as FAFC on June 1, 2010 (the “Separation”). Messrs. Martell, Balas, MartellHenry and TheologidesPinkston were not eligible to participate in the Pension Restoration Plan or the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and therefore they are not included in the following table.

The Pension Restoration Plan benefits generally accrue from the date of employment through the normal retirement age (as discussed below). The following assumptions were used for calculating present values: interest rate of 3.12%, post-retirement mortality perPri-2012 Table for Healthy Retirees with mortality projection using Fully Generational ScaleMP-2019, and benefit is payable as a single life annuity.

Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan eligibility requires 10 years of service and 5 years of participation in the plan with the benefit dependent on age at retirement between 55 and 62, rather than credited years of service. The following assumptions were used for calculating present value: interest rate of 3.12% post-retirement mortality perPri-2012 “Retirees” and “Contingent Survivors” tables with white collar adjustments, projected generationally beyond 2012 usingMP-2019 Order 2 Graduation Alternative Projection Scale. Benefit is payable as a 50% joint and survivor annuity.

Pension Restoration Plan

During 1996, we adopted the Pension Restoration Plan. This plan is an unfunded,non-qualified plan designed to make up for the benefit accruals that were limited under ourtax-qualified pension plan based on compensation in excess of the amount of compensation that may be considered under federal tax law limits for qualified plans. However, in order to limit its expense, the Pension Restoration Plan does not make up for benefit accruals on compensation exceeding $275,000. The Pension Restoration Plan also makes up for benefits that could not be paid from a qualified plan because of limitations imposed by the federal tax laws. Vesting of benefits payable to an employee under the Pension Restoration Plan generally occurs upon employment through "normal“normal retirement age." "Normal” “Normal retirement age"age” is defined as the later of the employee'semployee’s attainment of age 65 or three years of service with us. The Pension Restoration Plan was effective as of January 1, 1994, but only covers selected employees who were participants in thetax-qualified pension plan formerly sponsored by us which was assumed by FAFC in connection with the Separation. The Pension Restoration Plan excludes pay earned after December 31, 2001. The Pension Restoration Plan was amended in February 2008 to eliminate benefit accruals for service after April 30, 2008.

Effective January 1, 2009, to comply with Section 409A of the Code, payment of benefits under the Pension Restoration Plan commences the first of the month following a participant'sparticipant’s separation from service or six months following a participant'sparticipant’s separation from service if he is considered a specified employee. Also, benefit options under the Pension Restoration Plan include various actuarial equivalent annuity options. A participant with at least three years of service with us may elect to retire after attaining age 55, but prior to age 65, and receive reduced benefits. Benefits are reduced 1/180th for each of the first 60 months and by 1/360th for each of any additional months by which the benefit commencement date precedes the participant'sparticipant’s normal retirement date. Mr. Sando is the only NEO who participates in the Pension Restoration Plan, and he was eligible for early retirement but not normal retirement at December 31, 2016.2019.

On June 1, 2010, in connection with spinning off the businesses now known as FAFC, the sponsorship of a portion of the Pension Restoration Plan and the liabilities under the plan were transferred to FAFC with respect to the accrued benefits for employees and former employees who were transferred to FAFC. We remain responsible for liabilities under the Pension Restoration Plan relating to the accrued benefits of employees who were not transferred to FAFC, which are now payable pursuant to the terms of the CoreLogic, Inc. Pension Restoration Plan, the successor plan to the original Pension Restoration Plan. The new plan is intended to govern the benefits payable to participants under the plan as of June 1, 2010 and is not intended to grant additional benefits to the participants in excess of their benefits accrued under the original Pension Restoration Plan.

Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan

The Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan provides retirement benefits for, andpre-retirement death benefits with respect to, certain key management personnel. The plan was originally adopted in 1985 and has been amended a number of times since then. Under the plan, as originally adopted, upon retirement at normal retirement date (the later of age 65 or completion of 10 years of service) the participant received a joint life and 50% survivor annuity benefit equal to 35% of "final“final average compensation." "Final” “Final average compensation"compensation” was determined for those three calendar years out of the last 10 years of employment preceding retirement in which final average compensation is the highest. Final average compensation


Table of Contents

includes base salary and commissions, cash bonuses and stock bonuses that are granted to compensate for past services (such as annual incentive bonus RSUs).

Under the original plan, the benefit was reduced by 5% for each year prior to normal retirement date in which retirement occurs and, until age 70, increased by 5% (compounded in order to approximate the annuitized

value of the benefit had retirement occurred at age 65) for each year after such date in which retirement occurs. With respect to such postponed retirement, the plan took into account covered compensation received until age 70, so that the retirement benefit of an executive who retires after normal retirement date is determined as the greater of the annuitized benefit or the benefit calculated using final average compensation until age 70.

To be eligible to receive benefits under the plan, a participant must be at least age 55, have been an employee of us or one of our subsidiaries for at least 10 years and covered by the plan for at least five years. Apre-retirement death benefit is provided consisting of 10 annual payments, each of which equals 50% of final average compensation. Subject to applicable legal rules, the Board can, in its discretion, pay the participant or beneficiary in an actuarial equivalent lump sum or other form of benefit. In the event of a "change“change in control"control” (as defined in the plan) of us, a participant who retires after the change in control shall receive the same benefits as if he were retiring upon the attainment of normal retirement date.

The Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan was amended in September 2005 to provide that participants who thereafter engage in competition with us, either during their employment with or following their departure, forfeit their right to receive any vested benefits under the plan. Competition includes the misappropriation, sale, use or disclosure of our trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information and solicitation of our customers.

To reduce the costs of the plan to us, the plan was further amended in October 2007. Among other changes, this amendment (i) reduced the normal retirement date to the latest of age 62, the date on which the participant completes 10 years of service with us and the date on which the participant was covered, in combination, by the plan or FAC Management Supplemental Benefit Plan for five years; (ii) changed the period over which "final“final average compensation"compensation” is determined to the five calendar years preceding retirement; (iii) reduced the maximum benefit payable to a joint life and 50% survivor annuity benefit equal to 30% of final average compensation; (iv) eliminated any increased benefit for postponed retirement beyond the normal retirement date; and (v) provided for accelerated vesting only upon a change in control that is not approved by our incumbent Board. The benefit is reduced by 5.952% for each year prior to age 62 in which retirement actually occurs. Participants who were vested as of the effective date of the amendment, November 1, 2007, are entitled to receive the higher of the benefit as calculated under the amended plan and the benefit to which the participant would have been entitled had he retired on October 31, 2007.

In connection with the Separation, we transferred sponsorship and administration of a portion of the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan to FAFC. As part of this transfer, FAFC assumed the liabilities under the portion of the plan covering employees and former employees who were transferred to FAFC. Following the Separation, we remained responsible for the liabilities under the portion of the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan relating to our employees and former employees who were not transferred to FAFC. We maintain the CoreLogic, Inc. Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan as the successor to the original Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan in satisfaction of its liabilities to such employees who were participants and accrued benefits under the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan, but were not transferred to FAFC. The CoreLogic, Inc. Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan is intended to provide future benefits for our employees on and after June 1, 2010 and is intended to govern the benefits payable to such employees both before and after June 1, 2010.


Table of Contents

Effective December 31, 2010, the CoreLogic, Inc. Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan was frozen and amended to, among other things: (i) close the Planplan to new participants; (ii) freeze the average pay calculation as of December 31, 2010 (compensation after December 31, 2010 will not be taken into consideration in calculating benefits); (iii) amend the amount and form of thepre-retirement death benefit to provide for payment to a participant'sparticipant’s designated beneficiary in an amount equal to the survivor portion of a 50% joint and survivor annuity for the life of the beneficiary, or if the participant'sparticipant’s beneficiary is someone other than the participant'sparticipant’s spouse or domestic partner, for a maximum of twenty years; and (iv) apply a proration factor to the benefit amount payable, the numerator of which is a participant'sparticipant’s service at December 31, 2010 and the denominator of which is the participant'sparticipant’s service that would have accrued as of his or her early retirement date if the participant was not early retirement eligible as of December 31, 2010.

In addition to the amendments described above, the change of control provisions were amended to provide that participants will become 100% vested in all plan benefits upon an involuntary separation from service without good cause following a change of control. Prior to the amendment, participants became 100% vested in all plan benefits upon a change of control, regardless of whether they incurred a separation of service for any reason. Furthermore, the retirement income benefit provided to participants and commencing upon a separation from service following a change of control on the same basis as though they had attained normal retirement age is limited to participants who experience an involuntary separation from service without good cause following a change of control.

As of December 31, 2016,2019, there remained fivethree active employees, including Messrs. Nallathambi andMr. Sando, who participate in the plan. The plan is closed to new participants. As of December 31, 2016, Messrs. Nallathambi and2019, Mr. Sando werewas eligible for early retirement but not normal retirement. The plan is unfunded and unsecured. We have previously purchased insurance, of which we are the owner and beneficiary, on the lives of certain plan participants. This insurance is designed to offset, over the life of the plan, a portion of our costs incurred with respect to the plan.

To the extent the executive officers were NEOs in prior years, the amounts reported in the aggregate balance at last fiscal year end that represented prior salary andnon-equity incentive plan compensation deferrals or Company contributions were previously reported as compensation to the NEO in our Summary Compensation Table as “Salary,”“Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” or “All Other Compensation” in previous years. Amounts reported in the aggregate balance at last fiscal year end that represent earnings in prior years on previously deferred amounts are not reflected on prior period Summary Compensation Tables.

The Deferred Compensation Plan offers to a select group of management and highly compensated employees the opportunity to elect to defer portions of their base salary, commissions and cash bonuses. We maintain a deferral account for each participating employee on a fully vested basis for all employee deferrals. Participants can choose to have their cash benefits paid in one lump sum or in quarterly payments upon separation from service or death. Subject to the terms and conditions of the plan, participants may also elect scheduled and nonscheduledin-service withdrawals of compensation deferred prior to January 1, 2005, and the earnings and losses attributable thereto. Withdrawals of compensation deferred after December 31, 2004, and the earnings and losses attributable thereto, must be scheduled by the participant at the time the participant elects to defer such compensation.

Participants allocate their deferrals among a variety of investment crediting options offered under the plan. The investment crediting rates are based upon the rates of return available under certain separate accounts offered through variable insurance products.

For all participants who joined the Deferred Compensation Plan prior to December 31, 2001, the plan provides apre-retirement life insurance benefit equal to the lesser of 15 times the amount deferred in the participant'sparticipant’s first year of participation or $2 million. The life insurance benefit is reduced beginning at age 61 by 20% per year. Participants who join the plan after December 31, 2001 are not eligible for this insurance benefit. We pay a portion of the cost of such life insurance benefits. The plan is unfunded and unsecured.

The Deferred Compensation Plan was amended in 2010 to provide for (i) Company contributions to the plan in the form of 401(k) restoration contributions and (ii) Company discretionary retirement savings contributions to a limited number of senior officers who were not eligible to participate in the Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan.contributions. The amount of our 401(k) restorations contributions made to participant accounts is determined based on the amount of discretionary matching contributions that would be made under the 401(k) Plan if the participants'participants’ deferrals under the Deferred Compensation Plan were instead made under the 401(k) Plan, but without regard to the statutory limits that apply to the benefits that may be provided under the 401(k) Plan. The discretionary retirement savings contribution for Mr. Theologides vests five years following contribution. There are currently no other vesting limitations in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Rules adopted by the SEC require our officers, as defined under the relevant SEC rules, and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding common stock, to file reports of their ownership, and changes in ownership, of our shares with the SEC on prescribed forms. Officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required by the SEC's rules to furnish us with copies of all such forms they file with the SEC.

Based solely on the review of the copies of the forms received by us, or written representations from reporting persons that they were not required to file a Form 5 to report previously unreported ownership or changes in ownership, weWe believe that our officers, directorspay ratio disclosure presented above is a reasonable estimate. Because the SEC rules for identifying the median employee and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners timely complied with all such filing requirements during fiscal 2016.calculating the pay ratio allow companies to use different methodologies, exemptions, estimates and assumptions, our pay ratio disclosure may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

A "quorum"“quorum” refers to the number of shares that must be represented at a meeting in order to lawfully conduct business. Holders of a majority in voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Without a quorum, no business may be transacted at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and brokernon-votes (as described below) are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.

What is a "broker non-vote"“brokernon-vote” and how is it treated?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name"“street name” by a broker and you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, your broker may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting only on "routine matters"“routine matters” (as defined by NYSE rules) on which it has discretion to vote.

The following proposals are considered "non-routine matters"“non-routine matters” under the NYSE rules:

    the election to the Board of the nine12 director nominees named in this proxy statement;

    and

    the proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs; and

    the vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs.

Accordingly, if your shares are held in "street name"“street name” and your broker has not received voting instructions from you, your broker may exercise its discretion to vote your shares on the proposal to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, but will not be permitted to vote your shares on any of the

other proposals at the Annual Meeting. If your broker exercises this discretion, your shares will be treated as present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing the presence or absence of a quorum and voted on the proposal to ratify the selection of PwC in the manner directed by the broker, but will constitute "broker non-votes"“brokernon-votes” on each of the other proposals at the Annual Meeting.

How are abstentions treated?

For the election of directors, you may vote "for," "against,"“for,” “against,” or "abstain"“abstain” with respect to each director nominee. If you elect to "abstain"“abstain” from the election of directors, the abstention will not have any effect on the election of directors. In determining the voting results for the election of directors, only "for"“for” and "against"“against” votes count.

For purposes of the proposals regarding the vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs, the vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs, and the vote to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017,2020, abstentions are treated as present and entitled to vote. Therefore, with respect to each of these proposals, (other than the vote, on an advisory basis, on the


Table of Contents

frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs), abstentions have the effect of votes "AGAINST"“AGAINST” the proposal. With respect to the vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs, abstentions have the effect of votes "AGAINST" each of the frequency options in determining whether any of the frequency options has been approved by a majority of the shares of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, but will not be counted in determining the frequency option receiving the highest number of votes.

What percentage of stock do the directors and executive officers own?

As of the record date, our directors and executive officers owned approximately one percent of our shares of common stock in the aggregate that are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Who is paying the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the notice of the annual meeting of stockholders, proxy statement and form of proxy, and the solicitation of the proxies?
